Todays task whilst waiting for Fish to get back from PF. The tractor appeared in our neighbours field again, so thought I would have a play around

Like this one.

But how long did it take you to select/deselect the edges of the plants/foliage in that?!

The tractor definitely has a bit of an angry "face", the radiator mantle has an agressive slant to it - like snarly eyebrows. Couple to that the sort of battered mechanical patina that you see on the possessed vehicles in the films "Duel" and "Killdozer"(*), and set the whole thing in a tranquil and unsuspecting place (like the nice field in your photos), and let the imagination run.

*- Killdozer (1974) involved a battered old Caterpillar bulldozer, used to build an airstrip on a pacific island, being possessed by an nasty evil entity, running amock and killing all the construction workers.

That tractor is evil, I tell you......
